On PC you can enter a GTA 5 cheat in two ways: type a text code into the cheat console, or dial a number on your character’s in-game phone. Below are all 34 standard console codes with their matching phone numbers, plus Director Mode, and a quick guide to opening the console. Cheats only work in Story Mode, and this list is accurate as of 19 October 2026.
How to enter cheats on PC
The PC version has one big advantage over consoles: instead of long button combos, you just type a short word. The steps are always the same:
- While playing, press the key to the left of 1 in the top row. On a US keyboard it is the tilde key
~. - The cheat console line opens. Type the code in capital letters, for example
TURTLE. - Press Enter and the cheat switches on.
On a UK or other non-US layout the symbol printed on that key may be different. What matters is the position of the key, not the character on it.
Cheats via the in-game phone
The second method needs no keyboard, which is handy if you play on PC with a controller. Pull out your character’s phone in Story Mode and dial a number from the tables. Every number starts with 1-999- followed by the text code spelled out on a phone keypad (ABC = 2, DEF = 3 and so on). The numbers are identical on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, so the same table works on a friend’s console too.
Player and wanted level cheats
Health, invincibility, police and movement. The one you will use most is LAWYERUP, for when half of Los Santos is chasing you after a mission.

For fast run and drunk mode, some sites list numbers with swapped digits. Our table uses the version that matches the letters of the code (CATCHME and LIQUOR) on a phone keypad.
Weapon cheats
TOOLUP hands you a full set of weapons with ammo. The other codes change what your punches and bullets do.

Vehicles you have to unlock, and Director Mode
Three special vehicles have no console button combo at all, only a PC code or a phone number. You also have to unlock them in the game first, otherwise the code does nothing. Director Mode cannot be entered with buttons on consoles either.
| Effect | Console code | Phone number |
|---|---|---|
| Duke O’Death | DEATHCAR | 1-999-332-842-27 |
| Dodo (seaplane) | EXTINCT | 1-999-398-4628 |
| Kraken (submarine) | BUBBLES | 1-999-282-2537 |
| Director Mode | JRTALENT | 1-999-578-253-68 |
Things to watch out for
- Achievements. While a cheat is active, you will not unlock achievements. Save before you start experimenting and reload that save when you are done.
- Story Mode only. Cheats do not work in GTA Online at all, neither through the console nor the phone.
- No money. There is no money cheat in GTA 5, so do not waste time looking for one.
- Vehicles. If a car does not appear, stop and move to a more open spot.
Playing on console? The button combos are in our guides to Xbox cheats and PS5 cheats. If you are still installing GTA 5 on PC, for example from Steam, check the system requirements. And if you enjoy the classics, the older game has its own list of San Andreas cheats.
